Hakeem was better than Ewing and Ewing was a great player.

Both were great.....but not top 10 all-time.

An argument could maybe be made for Elgin Baylor.

Can't use that argument......that would be like saying what if Bill Walton would have stayed healthy.


They played against short white guys, they wouldn't dominate now, well maybe Wilt would put up decent numbers. The game was rather new, the game has evolved since immensely.

Also regarding those Rocket teams, they seem to have luck on their side, they never were a dominate team.

The Sonics use to own them all the time.

94 Sonics choked big time, Rockets lucky they didn't face them again.

You're correct.  They were not a dominant team but had a dominant center on both ends of the court.  No one could contain him.  And he didn't choke during all those championships that he earned Finals MVP       Side note. Those Knicks actually played better
 as a team minus Ewing...both he and Starks cost them that series

Reggie is def a Top 50 player of all-time but has NEVER proven himself when the time mattered most. Exceptional player that was definitely one of the most dangerous clutch shooters.. Top 10 should be a list of closers who dominated the game...

Bill Russell instead of Malone for Defense since have Jabbar being more Offensive minded.. May even squeeze in Prime Duncan instead of Malone...Malone took too many defensive risks..excellent rebounder though..more brilliant w/ the assistance of Stockton
